We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all of our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any of our supply chains. We have a zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking.

Our Supply Chains

KKI outsources its manufacturing and packaging requirements to third parties, including the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

In December 2015 we began undertaking a supply chain surveillance exercise in order to ensure that our third party suppliers do not engage in any activities or behaviour in contravention of the Act. We will continue to monitor our supply chain partners to ensure compliance with the Act.

In addition we are taking steps to review and amend our contractual relationships with our suppliers to obtain written, binding statements to this effect. This process is ongoing and will form part of our regular business review meetings with our suppliers.

This Modern Slavery Act Transparency Statement was approved by the Board of Directors of Kyowa Kirin International plc on 25 January 2017.
